A 3-2 victory included two goals by Michael Mersch and two assists for Alex Lintuniemi. Reign goalie Jack Campbell got the win with 16 saves on 18 shots.

Campbell, through the Reign Insider, said,
“It’s definitely an easier game when you play with the lead. Just loved the way we played tonight and last night too. That team doesn’t give up at all. For us to get four points out of the weekend just shows we played two really good sixty minute games.”
